READ THIS MANUAL

Please read all information in this manual carefully to gain maximum performance, safety and enjoyment from your Lafree Twist electric bicycle.

Congratulations! You have just pedalled into the exciting world of electric powerd bicycles. In addition to being a full-featured bicycle, the Lafree Twist has an integrated on-board electric power assist unit. The assisted pedal system is easy to use and understand. However, due to its sophisticated technology, it is extremely important that you follow the directions for their operation carefully and completely. Failure to do so could cause damage to the motor, energy set (battery pack/charger unit) or the entire bicycle.

Even though Lafree Twist functions as a standard bicycle, you should still review the chapters on bicycle operation, especially if you haven’t ridden/owned a bicycle within the last 10 years. Component performance and configuration has changed dramatically, and while they are easy to use and understand, they may not look quite the same as what

you are familiar with. Taking a few moments now to understand Lafree Twist’s operating procedures will help you get the most out of every ride.

Please read section 5.1: “Battery detachment, charging and installation” before operating Lafree Twist’s electric powered functions. Lafree Twist’s battery must be charged completely before the motor (power assisted pedalling) can be operated.
